Steve, It is my understanding that there are no WEEE Directive exemptions but that there are RoHS Directive exemptions for Military, high reliability telecommunications infrastructure (switching & transmission) and servers. The problem is that the exemptions are not well defined. If I go to an electronics store and buy a router to connect my desktop and laptop to my cable would that be considered a server?

Mornin' all you "Technetters"! I know there's a statement in the WEEE Directive that exempts military products from having to become lead-free, but are there any others? I've heard the term "high-rel" products will be exempt as well, but what exactly does that mean? Medical? Aerospace? TIA! -Steve Gregory --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
